2. DO NOT charge the batteries in an air temperature below +40°F
or above +105°F. This is important and will prevent serious
damage to the batteries.
3. While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch.
This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem.
4. If the batteries do not charge properly – (1) Check current at
receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance. (2) Check to
see if the receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns
power off when you turn out the lights.
(3) Move charger and drill to a surrounding air temperature of
+40°F to +105°F. (4) If the receptacle and temperature are OK,
and you do not get proper charging, take or send the tool and
charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See "Tools
Electric"’ in yellow pages.
5. The drill should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient
power on the jobs which previously were done easily. DO NOT
CONTINUE to use the drill with its battery in a depleted condition.
6. To prolong battery life, avoid leaving the tool on charge for more
than 2 days. Although overcharging is not a safety concern, it can
significantly reduce overall battery life.
7. Since the unit is designed for cordless applications, use of the unit
while plugged in is of no benefit. Batteries will still become
depleted.
8. Unplug your tool’s charger from the power supply before
disconnecting the charger from the tool. Under certain conditions,
with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the exposed
charging plug can be shorted by foreign material and may create
a fire hazard. Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such as
but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any build up of
metallic particles should be kept away from the charging plug.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
Trigger Switch & Reversing Button
The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing the trigger
switch shown in Figure 1. The reversing button, also shown in Figure 1,
switches the drill’s direction from forward to reverse.
Two Speed Operation
Your drill is equipped for two speed drilling. To operate at low speed,
squeeze the trigger switch halfway. This will produce a low speed to be
used for driving screws and starting holes without a centerpunch.
Squeezing the trigger switch all the way will produce a high speed for
normal drilling operation.
NOTE: There is a slight pause between speeds. Keep squeezing the
trigger, and the drill will start again.
Screw Driving
For driving fasteners, the reversing button should be pushed to the left
as shown in Figure 1.
Use reverse (button pushed to the right) for removing fasteners. When
moving from forward to reverse, or vice versa, always release the
trigger switch first.
Chuck & Key
Turn chuck key counterclockwise to open chuck jaws, place bit in chuck
as far as it will go and then pull it out far enough so that the chuck jaws
do not touch the flutes of the bit. Tighten chuck collar by hand. Place
chuck key in each of the three holes, and tighten in clockwise direction
(Figure 2). It’s important to tighten the chuck with all three holes to
prevent bit slippage. To release bit, turn chuck key counterclockwise in
just one hole, then continue to loosen chuck by hand.
Drilling
• When attaching accessories in the drill chuck, it is important to securely
tighten the chuck using all three holes to prevent slippage. When using
a keyless chuck, hand tighten firmly.
